The Complete Gardens CD-ROM is a useful plant finder resource for garden enthusiasts whatever their level of expertise.

The Complete Gardens plant finder and gardening software CD-ROM is 100% British made and the plants are selected to suit the British garden.

Search plants by flower and/or leaf colour, month, season, soil type, pH, aspect plus Latin or common name. The gardening software CD-ROM selects and displays images of the best plants to suit your requirements and garden conditions.

If you're looking for inspiration to design a garden, a selection of photographs showing established garden styles provides a useful aid to create the garden style of your choice. Learn from the gardening experts which plants grow well together and provide seasonal colour and interest to a garden. The plants are highlighted as you move the cursor over the picture. Clicking on any plant opens that plant's main page and you'll be given the plant description, height, month of interest, soil type, plant care, pruning advice and specialist plant suppliers.

Keep your own garden records and create lists of plants you have and plants you would like. These plant lists are displayed in the software's garden calendar so you can see the plants you have in any chosen month and be reminded when your plants need pruning. Plant lists and your notes are all printable.
